Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, when he plans to appoint the independent chair of the review into the Teaching Excellence Framework.
My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State is planning to appoint a suitable independent person to report on the operation of the Teaching Excellence and Student Outcomes Framework by autumn 2018. The department is currently engaged in a process for identifying people who have both the required experience and can command the confidence of the sector.
